Interpretation

Function Fill for Surf 10, or occupation build-up from the phase preceding Surf 10
Stratigraphy remarks As with Surf 10, too little of this material remains to be able to make any stratigraphic correlations with other features; it is preserved within the same limits as Surf 10 (though it extends 30-40 cm further to the N) so is prob contempor makeup material; it is curious that its pottery is dominantly EB, when L 13 below contains Iron, MB, & EB pottery

Remarks

Remarks:

Arbitrary change to distinguish Surf 10 & the material below it; much was taken up with 10 & is the same as 11; some was not directly below the preserved part of Surf 10, but was within the original boundries of 10 as seen in the S balk
